Mesut Ozil reaffirmed his support for Arsenal with a message on Twitter ahead of their Europa League clash with Rapid Vienna on Thursday.
Ozil did not travel with the squad to the Austrian capital after Mikel Arteta left him out of his squad for the competition. Soon after, Ozil was also dropped from the Gunners’ 25-man Premier League squad.
The former Germany international went public with his disappointment after being left out, commenting that “loyalty is hard to come by” in football. Ozil has played more than 250 times for Arsenal since joining in 2013, but hasn’t featured at all since English football returned from coronavirus lockdown.
